🎬 Movie

Alexey returns to his hometown after a decade away. His father, a retired teacher, now lives alone in the old house that's slowly falling apart. Between them lie years of silence, unspoken grievances, and the memory of the mother whose death once drove them apart. Alexey has come for just a week to sell the property, but each day within these walls forces him to reconsider his past. Neighbors, childhood friends, the scent of apples in the garden—everything reminds him of the boy he used to be. This 2025 family drama explores the fragility of kinship and the quiet pain we carry for years. The director avoids loud confrontations, favoring long pauses, glances through windows, and conversations left unfinished over tea. It's not a story of dramatic reconciliation, but of slow, careful rediscovery.
